First steps after a leak in New London
New London averages 87 nights a year at or below 20 degrees and 70 days that stay below freezing, so a frozen pipe is the leak to watch for. If you find one before it thaws, close the main shutoff, usually in the basement where the line comes through the foundation, so the split cannot run when the ice melts. Never thaw a pipe with an open flame. If water is already on the floor, turn off the breakers for wet rooms, but keep away from a basement panel if the floor around it is wet. Photograph the split section, the wet walls and any stained ceiling, and keep the broken piece. Move boxes and stored items off the basement floor, where water spreads under shelving. Call about burst pipe cleanup once the water is off, so water mitigation can begin. Calls are taken 24/7, at any hour of a winter night.
